Hi There,
I had a similar question years ago. I'm in the Montreal area and I could not find anyone that I could trust here. I sent my heads for machining to ACE out in Colorado.
There is an aircooled guy in Laval, Frank, but he is very hard to get a hold of.
Looking forward to hearing others response.
IMHO, I would send it to the USA.
Good Luck |

I might be wrong, but I believe Mr Okrasa can do it. He does 25 and 36 engine and split case transmission work. One day when I save up enough money I plan on sending him my 36hp engine so he can build it into a vintage speed motor. Check out his website and he also has some advertisements listed on here as well. Hope this helps http://www.okrasa.com/ _________________ 1959 Fjord Blue Volkswagen Beetle

After building these 25hp/36hp engines for over 42+ years now, I thought I knew what I was doing.
Oh well, maybe someday I will get it right..... _________________

Doesn't Mr. Motorhead line bore 36hp cases? I thought I had mine line bored by him. It was either him or Rimco that did my case, it's been so long I can barely remember... _________________ 36hp '56 European DeLuxe oval, '70 bug 1835cc dual 36DRLA, and a '98 4x4 5spd single cab Tacoma |

Rick Herity in Edmonton does all mine. He'll shoot the bar thru the mains or he'll do it right and plane the case halves then bore the cam ,mains ,seal, pump etc.. It's a shit load of work to do it right. It's all the Matra reamer system. You get what you pay for _________________ 2010 Bonneville record holder Type 2, 36hp

Hey everyone,
I am rebluiding the 36HP of my 56 convertible,
and I cannot find locally any shop that is able to line bore my 36HP.
I am from Quebec City and now looking to ship the block and crank to either someone in Canada or US.
So if someone has a good reference to communicate, please share.
Thanks in advance.

If there are steps worn into the bearing saddle beside the flywheel, then you will need an align bore. Thats where they pound out on 36ers. Jim _________________ Old enough to remember THRILLS, the gum that tastes like soap. |

Looks like you have scooters? I once owned a red and white NSU . It was old and had 2 seats on it. I think it was a 125. Shaft drive. Should have kept it. _________________ Old enough to remember THRILLS, the gum that tastes like soap. |

Check with Daniel's Machine shop in Maine. He has the equipment and knows what he's doing. |
